treating mind, body & spirit

Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Ancient Chinese developed their unique and accurate medical system (Traditional Chinese Medicine) through careful and diligent study of the body, mind, emotions, spirit, and the natural world around them. 

Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into various points on the body that help establish greater circulation. Acupuncture needles serve as conductors, and when placed in points that have increased conductivity, can effectively "tune" the body to maximize health and wellness.  The needles provide gentle and precise stimulation to specific sites on the body, which is the catalyst for a healing response.  

The body’s natural opiates, endorphins, are released from the brain during each acupuncture session, potentially making the treatments profoundly relaxing and enjoyable. Many newcomers are pleasantly surprised by how painless the needle insertion is and how pleasurable the overall experience can be.

Cupping therapy utilizes glass, plastic, or silicone cups, which provide suction to tissue. The suction facilitates improved blood flow to injured or painful areas and increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed, thus promoting cell repair in the area. It can also help promote new connective tissues and create new blood vessels to the area. Cupping is often used to complement a treatment for various symptoms and conditions. Cupping is very effective in relieving muscle tightness and pain.

The ear is covered in a powerful network of nerve endings, creating a microsystem of the entire body on the ear's surface.  When specific combinations of points are stimulated, they have been shown to have a balancing or therapeutic effect.  Ear seeds are a natural, noninvasive tool used to stimulate those points.  The tiny natural seeds are affixed to the ear with medical tape, which provides constant light pressure to those points. Utilizing the ear for therapeutic purposes has a rich, long history in many cultures around the world.

Herbal formulas are prescribed in safe therapeutic combinations to support health and well-being.  More than 450 substances are used in Chinese herbal medicine. Most are of plant origin, although some mineral substances may also be used.

When prescribed by a trained practitioner, herbal formulas are tailored to an individual. Most formulas are in pill, powder, or tincture form and are convenient and easy to take. All formulas Julee carries are free of toxic fillers and ingredients.

Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into various points on the body that help establish greater circulation. Each acupuncture point also has a set of associated functions, and its stimulation can mediate various physiological events as well as address and improve emotional and mental states. Endorphins, our body’s natural opiates, are released from the brain with every acupuncture treatment, and treatments have the potential to be profoundly relaxing and pleasant (believe it or not). Most newcomers are pleasantly surprised to find the needle insertion relatively painless and the treatments so enjoyable.

LED Light Therapy for Collagen Production

LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate the body’s natural processes. One of the key benefits of LED light therapy is its ability to boost collagen production. Collagen, a vital protein that maintains skin elasticity and firmness, tends to decrease with age, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.

By using red and near-infrared light, LED light therapy can:

• Stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production.
• Improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Enhance overall skin tone and radiance.
• This painless and relaxing treatment can rejuvenate the skin, making it look more youthful and vibrant. LED light therapy is suitable for all skin types and can be easily integrated into a regular skincare routine for long-lasting benefits.

The LED light can be used for facial services and for treating inflammation and pain on the body.
